Caption transcript for Times of the Signs: “Green to the Extreme” (3/8)

• 00:04 On today's program find out what ancient pagan worship,
• 00:07 the Nazi movement and radical environmentalism have in common.
• 00:12 Stay tuned for "Times of the Signs".
• 01:13 Shalom and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss.
• 01:15 And I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 01:17 And we want to welcome you to our new series "Times of the Signs".
• 01:20 We are seeing God fulfilling His Word in rapid pace right now.
• 01:25 It's not just one or two.
• 01:27 I mean they're just comin at us.
• 01:29 Yes, that's true, we're getting close to the coming of the LORD.
• 01:31 And so we have a very controversial program today.
• 01:34 We want to talk about the power of the extreme environmentalist movement
• 01:38 and how it is diminishing the role of mankind
• 01:41 and uplifting the role of creation
• 01:44 and how that has connections, historical connections
• 01:46 to some of the most devistating movements in the history of the planet.
• 01:49 Right, you know, God has created His earth for us to enjoy,
• 01:53 for us to be a good steward over.
• 01:56 for us to take responsibility for
• 01:58 that we don't pollute or destroy it
• 02:01 but we are not to worship it.
• 02:03 And that is the error that is this green fascism
• 02:07 has caused us to see even the same as Baal.
• 02:10 The ancient connection between pagan worship, the worship of "mother earth", "Gaia"
• 02:15 and the displacing of God's order of things.
• 02:19 Remember, Genesis 1:26 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 02:29 God created man in God's image.
• 02:31 Now let's go to hear Myles in the Hinnom Valley unfold the Scriptures on these.
• 02:43 You know we're trying
• 02:44 to bring to you
• 02:45 some of the major events
• 02:46 that are happening
• 02:47 in the end times
• 02:49 and how they relate together
• 02:50 to set up for
• 02:51 the return of Yeshua ,
• 02:52 for the coming of Messiah.
• 02:54 And one of the most interesting, fascinating parts of this story
• 02:58 is the global movement towards a environmentalism,
• 03:02 a green environmentalism.
• 03:04 I would say, an extreme green environmentalism.
• 03:08 So you might ask, Why are you here at the Hinnom Valley?
• 03:10 Well this is the Hinnom Valley.
• 03:12 It's one of the 3 Valleys
• 03:14 that comprise the center of Jerusalem.
• 03:16 The 3 Valleys taken together,
• 03:18 The Kidron
• 03:19 The Tyropoeon
• 03:20 and the Hinnom Valley
• 03:22 make the shape of the letter "Shin", "El Shaddai"
• 03:24 Another evidence that God, the Almighty God
• 03:28 has set His Name here in Jerusalem.
• 03:31 This is His place.
• 03:32 The Hinnom Valley has a very storied
• 03:34 and very difficult history.
• 03:37 We first see it appear in the book of Joshua.
• 03:39 Just historically speaking
• 03:41 about the territory
• 03:42 that this valley makes up.
• 03:44 But then we learn over time
• 03:46 that this is the valley that God warns us about
• 03:49 through the prophet Jeremiah.
• 03:51 It's where the prophets of Baal worshipped.
• 03:53 It's where Baal worship took place.
• 03:56 In fact, children were sacrificed
• 03:58 to the god Molech in this valley.
• 04:01 It became known as the Valley of Burning,
• 04:03 the Valley of Slaughter.
• 04:06 And its incredible depth of difficulty
• 04:09 that we see here.
• 04:12 In fact, in Genesis 1
• 04:14 God tells us to be stewards of His earth.
• 04:17 But He never tells us to worship the earth.
• 04:20 We see that parallel in Romans Chapter 1.
• 04:22 We're warned that we are to worship the Creator
• 04:26 and not the creation.
• 04:28 And yet, this type of worship
• 04:30 is the setting up of graven images
• 04:32 is a reaching for something that doesn't belong
• 04:34 which is worship of the creation
• 04:36 or the imagination
• 04:38 instead of the one, true God.
• 04:40 The Valley of Hinnom takes on an even deeper meaning
• 04:45 in the New Testament, the B'rit Hadashah.
• 04:48 In Acts Chapter 1
• 04:49 it's spoken of as the field of blood,
• 04:52 the place where Judas went to hang himself
• 04:55 after he betrayed Yeshua .
• 04:58 Now, hanging in those days
• 04:59 was not with a rope as we are familiar with in the west.
• 05:02 But it would be with an impaling
• 05:04 with the entire insides of a person being spilled out.
• 05:08 And that's why this was called the field of blood.
• 05:12 So this valley
• 05:13 has both a tremendously negative and difficult history
• 05:17 but also points to something very important.
• 05:20 As every one of these programs is showing,
• 05:22 we are called to worship the Creator and not the creation.
• 05:27 Amazingly, the modern extreme green movement,
• 05:31 the extreme environmentalist movement
• 05:34 has a very strong parallel with the arising of the Nazi movement.
• 05:38 I know that may seem strange to you
• 05:40 but let me explain this.
• 05:43 In order for Hitler to come to power
• 05:45 he had to see a weakened Christianity
• 05:48 which came through the higher criticism
• 05:51 and the elevation of the romantic philosophers of Germany.
• 05:56 Famous names...
• 05:57 Goethe...Schopenhauer... Nietzsche
• 06:00 were all used by the Nazi Party
• 06:02 to diminish the importance of Christianity.
• 06:04 Because Christianity was tied to Judaism.
• 06:07 And therefore it was weak in the eyes of the arising Nazi Party.
• 06:11 The connection with environmentalism which is amazing,
• 06:15 is that there had to be a vacuum
• 06:18 in to which this party could arise.
• 06:20 That vacuum was created by the devistation of World War I,
• 06:23 by a weak Christianity,
• 06:26 and by an elevation of the thoughts and mind of man
• 06:31 over the thoughts and mind of God.
• 06:32 And that's why Hitler was so strongly against
• 06:35 the Bible, against Christians,
• 06:37 and of course, against Judaism.
• 06:40 In order for him to accomplish what he wanted to
• 06:42 there had to be an elevation
• 06:44 of the importance of the environment,
• 06:46 the importance of the natural life
• 06:48 and the elevation, almost to the point of reverence, of the natural world
• 06:53 that was only fit for an elevated master race to participate in.
• 06:59 Therefore, he had to diminish the population by weeding out
• 07:04 those that were weaker,
• 07:06 those that were tied to the weakness of Judaism and Christianity
• 07:09 in order for him to take over.
• 07:11 And there was an incredible connection
• 07:13 with extreme environmentalism.
• 07:22 The Dead Sea
• 07:23 referred to in the Bible
• 07:24 as the Salt Sea
• 07:25 provides a wealth of beneficial ingredients
• 07:28 for skin care.
• 07:29 This week our ministry is offering you
• 07:31 3 of Ahava's most popular products
• 07:34 all made from the sea's rejuvenating minerals.
• 07:37 For your kind donation
• 07:39 we'll send you their mineral body lotion
• 07:42 hand cream
• 07:43 and foot cream.
• 07:45 They soften,
• 07:46 they smooth,
• 07:47 and most importantly,
• 07:49 they're made in Israel.
• 07:50 Call 1-800-WONDERS
• 07:52 and request the "Skin Care Trio"
• 08:04 We are decending into
• 08:06 the Valley of Hinnom.
• 08:07 This nefarious Valley
• 08:09 where not only was there a movement away from
• 08:12 the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
• 08:14 but actually a place where children were slaughtered.
• 08:17 What does this have to do with the environmental movement?
• 08:19 The green movement that is arising in the world?
• 08:22 And what possible connection could it have with the Nazi mentality?
• 08:26 Well, the fact is that it's similar in that
• 08:29 the extreme green movement believes that there is
• 08:32 a elite, a small group of leadership
• 08:36 that should make decisions from central control
• 08:38 over the rest of the populous.
• 08:41 And it has to do with the elevating of a certain group
• 08:43 and the diminishing of the value of human life for everyone else.
• 08:47 Think about this...
• 08:48 When Hitler was on the rise
• 08:50 one of his first concepts was "Lebensraum"
• 08:52 which meant "living room".
• 08:54 That was the justification for attacking Poland, Czechoslovakia
• 08:57 and expanding the reach of the German people
• 09:01 beause they were superior.
• 09:03 And they needed fewer competitors and more space
• 09:06 to enjoy the mountains and the high places of the earth.
• 09:09 One of their key phrases was "Blood and Soil",
• 09:12 the blood of the German people
• 09:14 and the soil of German, the growing German empire.
• 09:19 But it required a reduced population.
• 09:22 And we hear that a lot in the modern movement don't we?
• 09:25 We hear a lot about population control
• 09:27 and reducing the population
• 09:29 so that there's more to go around
• 09:30 for these elite few who remain.
• 09:34 In a twist that only the mind of the enemy could make up,
• 09:39 every death camp had an oak tree planted in front of it
• 09:44 as a reminder of the importance of the green movement,
• 09:47 the importance of the environment movement.
• 09:49 In fact, it was so strong that in order to demonize the Jewish people
• 09:55 Hitler had laws enacted that elevated the importance of animals
• 10:01 and came against the ritual kosher slaughter of the Jewish people,
• 10:05 the traditional way the most humane way of slaughtering an animal.
• 10:09 In fact, Hitler was a nature boy, he was a vegetarian,
• 10:12 a non-smoker, a non-drinker.
• 10:15 He just happened to be a vicious murderer
• 10:19 who could so justify and so compartmentalize in his twisted mind
• 10:23 that the environment, the green world,
• 10:26 the mountains of the German people.
• 10:29 And the few elite people had so much more value
• 10:32 than what he eventually called the "vermin", the Jewish people.
• 10:35 But it wasn't only the Jewish people.
• 10:38 It was Christians and Gypsies
• 10:40 and people of all kinds
• 10:42 that did not fit in the mold, the picture of this Aryan superior race.
• 10:48 In order for Hitler to do what he did
• 10:50 he had to take Judeo Christian thinking out of the minds of people.
• 10:54 He had to see a weakened Christianity
• 10:58 and he worked at that.
• 11:00 In 1935 he put 700 Prussian pastors under house arrest
• 11:05 because they dared to circulate a pamphlet equating Nazism with Paganism.
• 11:10 He knew that he had to have a weakened Christian church.
• 11:15 Heroes like Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth,
• 11:17 they were very, very rare,
• 11:19 very exceptional among the Gentile believers,
• 11:22 the Christians who stood up against the Nazi regime.
• 11:25 And isn't it amazing that today
• 11:28 no less than Peter Singer, the bioethics Professor
• 11:33 has said that we need to do away with Judeo-Christianity
• 11:37 in order for animal rights to have its way in our world.
• 11:40 There is a parallel between moving away from the Bible
• 11:44 opening the door to the vacuum that paganism can come into
• 11:48 and then elevating mother earth worship,
• 11:50 Baal worship, paganism, witchcraft of every kind.
• 11:54 There's a connection between that and what happened in Nazi Germany.
• 11:59 No less than Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh has said,
• 12:08 Again, because it's the elites who should have this planet for themselves.
• 12:13 The racial component is no longer as strong as it was in Nazi Germany.
• 12:17 But the mentality is still very similar.
• 12:20 Think about this.
• 12:22 The precursors of the modern extreme green movement in America,
• 12:30 They all did that same romantic philosophical
• 12:33 changeover that happened in Germany
• 12:35 where they moved away from the Bible
• 12:37 towards an elevation of the importance of the environment,
• 12:41 importance of mother earth.
• 12:43 And those people led to what we have today.
• 12:46 In fact, Teddy Roosevelt was a conservationist.
• 12:48 And we believe in conservation.
• 12:50 We believe in good stewardship.
• 12:52 But Teddy Roosevelt still had a Judeo-Christian background and paradigm.
• 12:56 And so he and and John Muir really locked horns
• 12:59 over the dispersion of the land in the west.
• 13:02 Because Muir was a pagan mentality type of environmentalist
• 13:07 whereas Roosevelt understood that man was created a little lower than the angels
• 13:12 and that man was created in the image of God.
• 13:15 This movement towards extreme legislation, extreme control
• 13:20 maybe finds its most absurd picture in the
• 13:24 PETA advertisement of several years ago,
• 13:28 People for the ethical treatment of animals,
• 13:30 where they have billboards all over the U.S. with pictures of chicken
• 13:33 called "The Holocrust on your Plate",
• 13:35 equating the value of the Jewish people
• 13:38 slaughtered in Nazi Germany
• 13:40 with eating a chicken.
• 13:42 When we see that happening.
• 13:44 When we see the arising of the devalue of human life,
• 13:47 the devaluing through abortion.
• 13:49 All of the things that we see arising in this Gaia worship
• 13:53 this mother earth worship,
• 13:55 we know that there is a very extreme element
• 13:59 that is trying to set up for central control of our lives
• 14:02 in order to create a dominance of one group over another.
• 14:07 Now, there's good news in this.
• 14:09 I know you're waiting for it.
• 14:10 The good news is that these are the times of the signs
• 14:13 and that part of this movement
• 14:16 means that those of us who serve the One, true Living God
• 14:21 will continue to look for Him as the days progress.
• 14:30 You know, the LORD puts a premium on human life.
• 14:33 It's not the same equivalent, like Peter does, to compare
• 14:38 the holocaust to the mistreatment of animals.
• 14:41 I love animals.
• 14:42 But we are to worship God.
• 14:45 Yes, exactly right.
• 14:47 It really brings up issues about the sanctity of human life
• 14:49 and explains why there's such controversy in our country and around the world
• 14:53 about where life begins
• 14:55 and how that works into the worship of the Creator
• 14:58 and we who are made in His image.
• 15:00 Right
• 15:01 Mark Musser is a former missionary to the USSR.
• 15:05 He's a pastor now in Washington State.
• 15:07 He's an expert on environmentalism from a Biblical perspective.
• 15:12 I was able to interview him
• 15:13 and then I read his book which is incredible.
• 15:15 And I'll highly recommend it later in the program.
• 15:17 But I want you to hear my interview.
• 15:20 I asked him about the origin of the phrase "Mother Earth".
• 15:28 Gaia is an ancient Greek god that's really at the pinnacle
• 15:32 or really the beginning of the Greek Pantheon.
• 15:34 And from there all the other gods sort of come forth from Gaia.
• 15:37 The mother goddess.
• 15:38 Yeah, the mother goddess of earth.
• 15:40 And so now people look at the earth,
• 15:42 they compare her to Gaia
• 15:44 and they're going to worship her accordingly.
• 15:46 And this leads to totalitarianism as well
• 15:51 because one of the things that environmentalism emphasizes is holism.
• 15:54 Now in our minds we think that's a good thing.
• 15:56 Right
• 15:57 Because it sounds good, we hear it all the time.
• 16:00 But when you start thinking about holism,
• 16:01 What it means is everything is mutually independant
• 16:03 including man and including God.
• 16:05 They're all placed under that holistic circle of life in the world
• 16:09 that you can't get out of.
• 16:11 And that leads to all kinds of relationships
• 16:14 that are going to compromise you to prevent you
• 16:16 from acting according to God's image that God made you.
• 16:18 And they want to keep you down.
• 16:20 They want to keep you in that position
• 16:22 to where you're not allowed to do that.
• 16:24 And this leads to what we call fascism.
• 16:28 It leads to totalitarian views
• 16:30 and people are not able to act freely anymore
• 16:32 because of these mutually interdependent requirements
• 16:35 of nature that you can't act that way anymore.
• 16:37 And of course, when they start comparing animals
• 16:39 and mountains and flowers to be your sisters and brothers
• 16:42 and they have equal rights just like you do,
• 16:45 I mean the Constitution's gone,
• 16:46 I mean the laws are gone.
• 16:47 Now nature has almost priorities over people.
• 16:50 My thesis is that the holocaust was rather than seen as an industrial operation
• 16:55 it was actually was a Greek sacrifice of human beings under the Oak Trees.
• 16:59 It's a horrifying...
• 17:02 Very similar to Baalism.
• 17:03 Right
• 17:05 And if you were to bring Baalism up to date it would be like a Nazi fertility cult,
• 17:08 which is what it was,
• 17:10 dressed up in secular terminology.
• 17:12 It's the horrifying interface of anti-Semetic hate
• 17:16 and worship of the earth, or occultic worship.
• 17:21 Yeah, it was a rebellion against... really Genesis.
• 17:24 Because many of the German philosophers in the 1800s
• 17:26 were already criticizing Jews for Genesis
• 17:29 and treating animals like they belong to them.
• 17:32 And Hitler's favorite philosopher especially
• 17:35 Arthur Schopenhauer was big on that.
• 17:37 And the Nazi's passed an animal's right law in 1933
• 17:40 in honor of Shopenhauer and his anti-Semetic animal rights diet tribe.
• 17:45 And if you look at "The Eternal Jew",
• 17:46 a famous documentary film
• 17:48 that the Nazis put out there,
• 17:51 The animal rights is at the heart of this movie
• 17:53 right before Hitler talks about he used to send them all to hell
• 17:57 you know, right in the famous speech that he gives to the Reichstag.
• 18:00 They show Jewish ritual slaughter.
• 18:03 And they go through 3 cows and a couple of sheep
• 18:05 and how cruel supposedly the Jews are
• 18:08 when they do their kosher slaughter.
• 18:09 And that becomes the climax of the movie.
• 18:12 And then after that the Fuhrer shows up for the first time.
• 18:15 And he's going to give the Jews their just desserts.
• 18:19 And there is no...
• 18:20 In my opinion, there is a reason why the Jews were also put in cattle cars.
• 18:23 This was done by design.
• 18:25 They're going to pay the penalty for what they've done.
• 18:28 And you know, the Nazis had very strict rules for animals on trains,
• 18:33 very strict if your animal transport.
• 18:36 But they were broken when they sent the Jews
• 18:39 into the death camps of different places in Poland.
• 18:47 I noticed in your teaching that you also speak about
• 18:49 political millennialism
• 18:51 with a kind of a sarcastic or wry view
• 18:54 that Marx and the attempt to create a heaven on earth
• 19:01 is actually a misuse of Biblical ideas.
• 19:06 Explain that to our viewers.
• 19:08 Well, even the Nazis did this.
• 19:10 They called it the 1,000 year Reich.
• 19:11 And so they had a millennialism.
• 19:13 And Marx had a millennialism too
• 19:15 in the sense that he didn't think the 1,000 years
• 19:17 but he believed that mankind through industry, progress
• 19:20 would eventually set up some form of government
• 19:24 that was fair to everybody.
• 19:27 And there would so many goodies that no one would fight anymore.
• 19:29 I mean, this is just madness
• 19:31 but they don't believe in a fallen world.
• 19:34 They do in their own way.
• 19:36 But they criticize other things like the problem is that
• 19:39 the Division of Labor created this, so you have the people that have and people that don't.
• 19:42 So if you get rid of that problem through capitalism and industry
• 19:45 then we're going to have a good life on the earth.
• 19:48 And so you have to think about Karl Marx.
• 19:50 Number one, he does have a Jewish background.
• 19:52 Secondly, he has a Christian background.
• 19:54 I believe his dad was a Protestant pastor or something,
• 19:57 some connection there.
• 19:59 and those Judeo-Christian values is at the heart of his thinking
• 20:03 still, even though he rejects all those things.
• 20:05 Yet he has a forward looking attitude towards the future.
• 20:09 And that forward attitude towards the future is a Biblical concept.
• 20:12 Because of those influences people want to bring to bring the Kingdom of God on earth.
• 20:16 Because this is all predicted in the Old Testament
• 20:18 for the Jewish people in particular.
• 20:20 It's countless passages.
• 20:21 And so now people like Marx, they want to copy it secularly-wise,
• 20:25 they're going to profane it
• 20:27 and they're going to try to bring the kingdom in through secular politics,
• 20:30 whatever it may be.
• 20:31 We see it all the time as a Jewish person who
• 20:34 knows Jesus as Messiah and also loves Israel,
• 20:38 I see my secular brothers and sisters in America particularly
• 20:42 trying to implement the Jewish concept " tikkun olam ", "repairing the world...
• 20:49 without God.
• 20:51 Yeah
• 20:52 And then you windup with these kinds of awry systems
• 20:54 where you're overly green or overly sympathetic to
• 20:58 an underdog in a way that defies Scripture and defies logic.
• 21:01 And I see that all the time.
• 21:02 And I think that's the danger here.
• 21:04 Yeah, exactly, if you don't believe in the fall of mankind
• 21:08 you're going to try to recover it.
• 21:09 Okay how's this going to come about?
• 21:11 Well they want to go back to the Garden of Eden
• 21:13 even though they don't think such thing existed.
• 21:15 And yet they're going to spend all our money in taxes and regulate us to get us there.
• 21:18 And it's just amazing the things that go on.
• 21:21 And people don't realize how much the Bible has influenced their thinking.
• 21:25 I notice you said "spend all our money".
• 21:28 That's the old joke about socialism works until you run out of other people's money.
• 21:33 Exactly, Yeah.
• 21:34 So where do you draw your hope from,
• 21:36 knowing all that you know and study as deeply as you do,
• 21:40 where do you draw your hope?
• 21:41 It's in God's promises for the future.
• 21:43 He's going to straighten all these things out.
• 21:46 And we know in the millennium He is going to set up that millennium,
• 21:49 we can pet the lions like we all want to do today.
• 21:51 It can't be done if you do it now you're in trouble.
• 21:53 That's because we live in a fallen world.
• 21:55 Remember after Noah, the animals are now scared of us.
• 21:58 At some point God's going to straighten those things out.
• 22:01 We need to trust Him, He's got a plan.
• 22:03 And he is going to make nature unbelievable.
• 22:06 It's during the millennium especially but also the new heavens and new earth.
• 22:09 These are things to look forward to and it's something that
• 22:13 in spite of the chaos we see today it's...God has a plan.
• 22:17 He's marching forward and He's not disturbed by all the things happening around us
• 22:22 and we shouldn't be either.
• 22:25 Hi, you know a good question to ask yourself might be
• 22:28 where else can you find solid Bible teaching
• 22:31 regarding prophecy for these last days?
• 22:33 Well Zola Levitt Ministires
• 22:35 has been doing exactly that
• 22:36 for more than 35 years and
• 22:38 will continue with your support.
• 22:41 Your gifts of financial support
• 22:43 is what enables us to do this.
• 22:45 We want to remind you
• 22:46 there's 3 ways...
• 22:47 Online, through the mail,
• 22:49 or just give us a phone call.
• 22:51 And thank you.
• 23:01 The valley of Hinnom
• 23:02 points us to the reality
• 23:04 of the difference between
• 23:05 worshipping the Creator or creation.
• 23:07 Now, we believe in good stewardship
• 23:09 but it goes only so far.
• 23:11 Well, we believe in enjoying God's creation.
• 23:13 He's given it for us to receive from Him,
• 23:17 that we'll be refreshed by Him.
• 23:19 He said He'd bring us before streams in the desert.
• 23:24 But God also gave us a very strong commandment in Exodus.
• 23:28 He said,
• 23:36 Not a god that you make depicting heaven or earth or birds or anything in this realm
• 23:43 but you shall worship the invisible God
• 23:46 who you see through the creation and through His glory.
• 23:50 Yeah, and I think that conflict goes back to the very beginning.
• 23:53 Abel and Cain had this conflict
• 23:55 where there was a way to God that God chose.
• 23:58 And then another way, what happened there?
• 24:00 Well Cain chose to go by the way he chose, right?
• 24:03 He chose to offer God the fruit of what he thought would be best.
• 24:08 And that has a lot to do with the worship of earth.
• 24:11 But Abel said, you know what?
• 24:12 God covered us, He put the skin on us,
• 24:15 He redeemed us by the blood and the life is in the blood.
• 24:18 And Abel offered up the right sacrifice.
• 24:20 There's really one way.
• 24:22 And Jesus is very clear that He is (Speaking Hebrew)
• 24:27 The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
• 24:29 And that's why we can't worship any other thing can we?
• 24:32 No, I mean, in Romans 1 it says
• 24:34 that we cannot change the invisible God with corruptible things.
• 24:39 We cannot worship things that we make with our own hands.
• 24:42 You know I'm thinking of a gentlemen that I shared the LORD with Myles
• 24:47 early on in my faith.
• 24:49 And he was an atheist.
• 24:50 And I just simply shared the testimony of my faith.
• 24:53 And one day he saw a sunset and he called me on the phone
• 24:57 and he said, you know, I get it!
• 24:59 I get that there's a Maker behind this beautiful masterpiece that we see.
• 25:04 So that's what we want.
• 25:06 That's great.
• 25:07 So we see that.
• 25:08 That we are to worship the Creator not the creation.
• 25:12 And that's the underlying difficulty with "extreme" environmentalism.
• 25:16 As we said, we want to be stewards,
• 25:18 but we want to be stewards under the dominion of the Most High.
• 25:28 You know the Word of God has never lost its true meaning.
• 25:31 And we can see it even playing out in our world today.
• 25:34 The first murder was Cain and Abel
• 25:36 when Cain said my sacrifice is just as good as yours,
• 25:41 when God said specifically, no, it's the blood of the lamb
• 25:45 that will redeem and that will cover you.
• 25:47 It's not your own thoughts or your own fruits or your own way.
• 25:52 It really depends on whether you believe the Word and you believe the very beginning of the Word.
• 25:56 Perhaps the most salient message in the entire Bible.
• 25:59 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 26:07 If you believe He created it then coming to Him his way and worshipping what He worships.
• 26:11 What He says to worship is the most important thing.
• 26:14 You know we have an acquaintance who recently told us
• 26:16 that two-thirds of humanity should be wiped out.
• 26:19 This person considers herself an enlightened, new age, forward thinking person.
• 26:23 Two-thirds of humanity should be wiped out for the sake of the earth.
• 26:27 How sad to believe that would be inline with the values of God
• 26:31 or the values of forward thinking.
• 26:34 But yet we see that all around us.
• 26:35 Right
• 26:37 I was taken by Mark Musser's book "Nazi Oaks".
• 26:40 I'd promised you I would mention it.
• 26:41 In fact, I recommend that you read Nazi Oaks.
• 26:45 It was captivating.
• 26:46 but you can only read a few pages at a time.
• 26:49 It's so well researched and it's so deep.
• 26:51 Well, it's sobering to think that there would be
• 26:53 such a violent reaction against God and for the earth.
• 26:57 It's that pagan foundation and that Baal worship
• 27:01 that foundation that Cain fell into that we don't want to fall into.
• 27:05 We want to remember that we worship the One true God.
• 27:08 That's right.
